The English Federation of Disability Sport (EFDS) has launched a strategic plan to guide its work through to 2017.
'Active for Life' aims to increase positive participation in sport so disabled people are able to enjoy regular sport and physical activity in any field they wish to.
Funded by SportEngland, the intiative looks to develop an effective sports system, which will engage with disabled people. They key components of ‘Achieve for Life’ will be split into three key areas.
The first of the three areas is the recognition and understanding of the roles that key stakeholders/players can and do play, which contribute to effective delivery of sport for disabled people.
Secondly, a set of clearly defined activities and functions that directly increase levels of participation in sport and physical activity by disabled people.
Finally an effective engagement mechanism with the non-sport sector will be used to lead more disabled people to taking part in physical activity.
The strategic focus also includes giving disabled people key roles as volunteers, leaders, coaches and teachers in the sector.
